BTnet Leased Line

New lower prices with reductions of up to 30%

We know your applications are becoming ever hungrier, and now our 10Mbps on 100M bearer offer can future proof you from worry. Our new price beats our previous 10Mbps on 10M “Double Bandwidth” offer (where sites are within National Local Access exchange areas).

We’ve also reduced:

  • Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) price across all options, and a specially discounted price of up to 30% when buying 5Mbps and above
  • Per km distance charge on 10Mb, 100Mb, 500Mb and 1GB BTnet accesses by almost 30%. Distance from the BTnet exchange may once have been an issue but savings are now possible

100% Internet availability target

BTnet gives you high quality, reliable Internet access, backed by a 100% service availability target at all time, so your business is always online. Although 99.9% might sound ok, it’s still an ‘expected’ outage of over 8 hours per year, a working day. Can you afford to loose a working day through downtime? There’s a money-back service level agreement (SLA) should we ever fail to meet our 100% availability target and 24/7 support.

Guaranteed speed with exclusive bandwidth

Unlike broadband services, BTnet Leased Line offers you
un-contended dedicated bandwidth. That means there’s no sharing of bandwidth with any other BTnet customers. As the connection is dedicated exclusively to your business, we can assure the quality of access you need. Most importantly, the Internet won’t slow down during the busy peak usage periods.

Lower costs by flexing bandwidth

With BTnet you can increase or decrease available bandwidth according to your business needs. You can flex up during busy times or flex down and save money during quiet periods. You need only remain on the new bandwidth for a minimum period of five working days, so with BTnet you only pay for what you actually need.

Static IP addresses and domain names

You can supply and use your own, or we can provide IP addresses, Primary and Secondary DNS and Domain Name registration for BTnet customers (registration fee is extra). BTnet will provide as many IP addresses as required free of charge within service subject to Internet body regulatory rules.
